Joel's eyes focused on this girl who kept trying to push past me in efforts of reaching him. "Hey, hey, hey, just chill a sec, please you're hurting my girl," a bunch of fans chorused an 'awe'.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to," she said genuinely

"It's okay, don't worry about it," I said giving her a smile

"You're so pretty," this one girl said and a bunch of others agreed.

"Oh my gosh, stop, thank you," I laughed

"Isn't she," Joel said automatically as he tried steering us to the van and interacting with his fans all at the same time. When we finally got to the van, he helped me in and sat next to me. "You good?" He asked. I nodded and leaned my head against his shoulder. I noticed how multiple fans crowded around the van. "One of these days, someone is going to get seriously hurt if they keep doing that," he said into my hair. I pouted and continued to observe the situation. I felt his stare drift from his fans to me. I was too proud to let myself look back at him.

He swiftly draped his arm around me and I let him. I leaned my face into his chest as he drew circles on my back. His embrace was big, strong and warm. I always felt the safest in his arms. All the commotion melted away as I squeezed him back, I didn't want the moment to end. I think he knew because we stayed like that for the rest of the car ride to the hotel.

I sighed as I dropped my whole body into the fluffy white sheets. "You hungry?" Joel asked. I mumbled a yes into the bed. "Do you want to get room service or do you want to go out?" I tilted my head so that I was facing him.

"Let's go out," I said giving him a slight smile. I mean it wasn't everyday that I was in Miami.

"Okay, so where do you wanna go?" He questioned running his hand through his hair

"I don't know, you choose," I said kicking my shoes off.

"Chinese?"

"I had it a couple of days ago," I said picking at my nails

"Mexican?" He asked taking shirt off.

"Nah, I'm not in the mood," I said pushing my face into the bed once again. He started rummaging through his suitcase to look for a clean shirt.

"Okay, so what are you in the mood for?" He asked in an annoyed tone. I watched as he yanked a random shirt from his suitcase.

"Okay I don't know why you're so annoyed, so calm down," I said rolling my eyes

"I'm annoyed because I'm trying to do something nice and you're just catching an attitude for no reason," he put his shirt on and stared at me intently.

"I'm catching an attitude?" I asked narrowing my eyes "oh please baby,"

"Yes, you!" He said clapping his hands over his face "you're the one who keeps shooting down every single one of my options,"

"You had two freaking options," I said putting up two fingers.

"Why are you so complicated?" Joel groaned

"You should be the last one talking!" I exasperated "Especially after the little number you pulled this morning with Max,"

"You're still on that?" He asked rubbing his temples

"Yes, I'm still on it," I said sitting up.

"Right, you always have to protect your precious little Maxie,"

"You know what, go eat by yourself," I said pushing myself off the bed. I stalked into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

"Isabella," he said pounding on the door "I already apologized. What more do you want?"

I opened the bathroom door and give him an see you serious look. "No you haven't,"

"Okay, fine, I'm sorry,"

"No, you're not, you're just saying that. Don't say things you don't mean," I said pushing past him. He stoped me and grabbed me by the waist. I looked up at him and bit my lip. He inched closer and moved his face closer to mine. He leaned in for a kiss and I moved my face in the other direction. He instantly groaned and let go of me. I stare at him for a second and then just shrug. I shrug because I don't even know what to do anymore.

He punched the wall and just let out a scream. I jumped and look at him with huge eyes. "What the hell, Joel," I yelled

"I'm so over it okay, I'm over us fighting all the time. Me bringing you on tour was supposed to fix this," he said motioning at us, "And all we've done since we left home is fight. I feel like I can't breathe when you're mad at me," he said closing his eyes shut. I just looked at him and reach for his arm but, then flinch when he moves back. He noticed and hurt flooded his face.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. He stayed silent for a moment and then opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but, nothing came out. He took my hands into his and I watched as he played with my fingers. I let out a sigh as I finally looked up at him.

"Dude, I don't wanna fight anymore,"

"Me either, I love you," Joel said scrunching up his face

"I love you too," I said getting on my toes for a kiss. He placed both of his hands on my face and kissed me like his life depended on it. He kissed me so desperately and urgently. I always knew that he loved me, there wasn't a doubt about it, he could just be so short tempered sometimes. It drove me mad. He drove me mad.

We ended up getting Italian food and it was amazing. Things were good but, I still felt like something was wrong. I felt like we had still left thins unfinished and I didn't loot it one bit. It felt like we were just avoiding one huge issue. But, I wasn't going to be the one to open the pandora box. I liked, in fact, loved that we weren't fighting and I wanted to keep it that way. I was more than sure that  Joel did too. "What are you thinking about hermosa?" Joel asked breaking my train of thought.

"Nothing," I replied

"Yeah right," he smirked

"I'm serious!!!" I said with a little smirk

"Johann is arriving tonight,"

"No way, I can't wait to see him. It feels like forever since I last saw him. I'm so hype," I said twirling my straw in my drink

"Yeah, he said that he wanted to give you an official tour of the one and only Miami, so that should be nice."

"That's so dope, maybe we can get some of the other guys to come," I suggested
